Michael Finley Analysis

The Celtics had two spots to fill on their roster to help revive their season, and one spot will belong to the veteran Michael Finley, just another former star on his way out of the league who has also suffered from an injury this season. Also very much like his new teammates, Finley is a high character. But bringing on Finley raises some questions on how he would fit in after having a pretty disappointing season thus far.

“We don’t know yet,’’ said Celtics coach Doc Rivers, “But he was available, he’s a guy of high character, and he can shoot.

“But to be honest we don’t know yet if he fits in or not. But adding a veteran can’t hurt.

“I think he has basketball left in him,’’ said Rivers, “Mike can still play, but we don’t know if he will be in the rotation or not. But having a guy of high character in your locker room can never hurt.’’
